Back to ATD. "You'll want cause & effect"--GR. AtD p.942

[Mark Kohut]

Might have overlooked this but for backing-and-filling. This whole section
of Against the Day, which I have been crawl-combing through, needs all
to have a reading on, since it is NOT all savage ambiguously resonant satire.
Much of P's 'touching bottom' vision is here, i suggest.
 
Anyway, riff: p. 242. whoever, whatever serves as a narrator in this section,
beyond Cyprian and Yashmeen and Reef, sez:  "After a send-off party that
went on all night, to be remembered for an innocence in which everything
was still untouched by cause and effect,"......
 
discuss meaning of 'innocence' here. 
 
Relate 'cause & effect' remark to GR use....& to
the whole of logic in life.
 
Whatever comes to mind.
